Which one would you buy?

I know I've posted this several times before but the View Snipers are awesome and they last forever. I know faces are different so they won't work for all but if you're undecided, check them out. Only problem is they don't come in clear (color). I use smoke. Geek - I don't know of the Speedo version but the View Snipers are similar, just built much better.

View V-100 Sniper, mirrored www.tusa.com/.../v100-sniper-mirrored-p-128.html

I meant to add that they cost around $15.00 from various suppliers, last (me) about 6 months for one pair including competing and work-outs. After the anti-fog wears off (a couple of weeks), just add a little Speedo anti-fog spray after each use and place back in a goggle container. Keep your fingers and anything else from touching the interior of the lens (other than water and the anti-fog) and they will seem practically new for a long period of time.

Hind Compy goggles are the best No, Compies are for swimmers who resist any kind of change! Seriously, IMO there are much better goggles on the market now. I think the Speedo Vanquishers are great. With the silicone strap and rubber gaskets they are virtually indestructible. The same can't be said for the older generation such as the Compy and the Speedo Sprint (which was my standard back in the "olden times.").

I've been wearing TYR Racetech now for 10+ years. They are the only kind I can find that are adjustable enough to fit my face well. In winter/mornings/evenings, I usually wear just the clear/smoke ones; summer or afternoon practices I wear the metallized (mirrored) version. I swim nearly every day M-F, go through about 3-4 pairs of goggles a year (but some seem to disappear before they wear out). I try to keep 2-3 pairs in my swim bag, just in case (at least one mirrored, one plain). yep, racetechs for me too. clear for the winter indoors and mirror for the summer outside. Just bought 6 pair for some that swim w/ us and the sorry latex strap only lasted for about 3 weeks!!:bitching::bitching::bitching: ...so I call swimoutlet.com and put them on notice to raise cain w/ TYR to get them sorry straps condemned!!! I hope they stay on it and email me back letting me know they have upgraded their TYR Racetech straps to a silicone strap!!!:agree::agree::agree: ...your schedule is identical to mine M-F 12-1pm and I am glad I stumbled upon the racetechs many years ago. Generally a pair last me about 1.5 years b/c of the summer rotation. PS: i wash them w/ baby shampoo every day before i swimm and it works great keeping the fog at bay! Com'on TYR, pack a BETTER STRAP with your goggles!:cheerleader:

I know, you guy have lots of threads about goggles...I'm not asking for advice, just your vote... I'm about to buy new goggles and I need some help to decide... Try to find a store that lets you try on goggles before buying them. (And if they are kind enough to let you do this, reward them by buying at least one pair from them, even if it's more expensive than online.) What works for one person's face might not work for yours. When Tyr Tecnoflex stopped fitting me (I think they changed the mold) I tried on about eight different kinds before finding a model that worked as well, and bought at least one dud pair that seemed okay in the shop but started to hurt in the water. There really isn't a whole lot of difference between goggles other than the fit, so that is the most important thing to be looking for.

Not sure where you're finding sweedes for $30, unless they're someone's modern knockoff. The ones you put together yourself shouldn't cost you more than $5, unless you're getting the metallized (sp?) ones for outdoors, which are in the ~$12 neighborhood.

I bought 2 new pairs of goggles yesterday. It wasn't hard to decide, but I tried on like 100 different goggles. Nike Remora III Performance: it's very painful on the nose, I could't wear them longer than 2 sec... The speedo vanquishers...they are too big, not very confortable, and the periheral vision is horrible Speedo speed socket: could't find it (I'd really liked to try them on :censor:) Swedish goggles... one word: PAINFUL Speedo Aqua Racer Optical Corrective: couldn't find them V-100 Sniper: couldn't find them either I tried on so many different googles that I don't even remember the brands and models. Well, I ended up buying: Speedo Air Seal XR Mirrored I already swam wearing them, they are awesome!!! very confortable, very adjustables, perfect vision, no fog (yet), they didn't fill out with water at all, I jumped from the blocks and the didn't come off, good size, etc Thanks everyone for answer the pool and for the advices.

The first few times that you'll wear it the peripherical vision will look "strange" due at the curve lens but after a while you'll get used, btw it float in water...yes... float because the gasket is filled with Air (-> Air seal ) I've tried all the most popular Speedo goggles, XR are best for me, the right blend between a racing goggle with the confort of a training ones, so I can dive, push off hard off the wall without any leak or resetting it. The Aqua Racer is a close second for the performance in pool, but the smoke version is too faint and I've not found any other color available, the bright lights bother me a lot so I can't stand it in a bright pool, I'll try the mirrored version some day. If you "love" it and you use the mid-size nose piece I think that you'll love the speed sockets with large nose piece for meet, they're very extreme, ultra low profile, small inprint, "hard" but terrific fit on the face, good for 5-10 mins, no for 60-90 mins for me; moreover in last few weeks a lot of good deals online on them, I suspect that in late summer speedo will launch a new top of the line goggle for the Olympic...so the Big stores are starting to clear the house or... maybe not...
